Just yesterday, the President said "Good Morning".
The media immediately broke out into a frenzy. Within minutes, there was not one ear around the globe which hadn't heard the President's disgusting comment. It was mass chaos around the country as our worst fears were realized - He must be a racist and/or Hitler. A quick Fact-Check on Snopes found this to be "Mostly True" - While he isn't a racist and/or Hitler, he is in fact the President.
LOL That should be an onion story.Originally Posted by JVergin
Don't forget all of those that were not having a "Good Morning" or for that matter still sleeping . Was he in fact making fun of them??
We live in a divided country where half expect handouts and other entitlements, while the other half appreciates values such as hard work, respecting the law and living in a country where we are protected and have our freedoms. I don't think Trump is crazy, he's just a tenacious worker who does what he says. We need this in Washington for a change, instead of phony politicians who could care less about this country. Trump didn't make billions of dollars sitting on his rear all day expecting it to come to him. He wears his emotions on his sleeve, so what? This political correct mindset people have are the same hypocrites who know how to dish it out, but can't take it. They act like spoiled children. If they don't agree with something they protest. Give me a break. Who has time to protest? I sure don't, even if I wanted to.
Interesting comments from Donald Trump this week in an interview with Reuters News that he missed his old life before he became President. He did not think that being President would be so hard.
I am relived that Congress agreed to punt the budget issue until next Friday to keep the gov't operating. A lot of things can go off the rails between now and then.
I think that President Trump is slowly learning that he can't get his way on everything and took the Obamacare repeal and the Wall off the table for now.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed “those fleeing persecution, terror and war” to his country in a tweet posted on his account — noting his country accepts refugees “regardless of your faith.”
The asylum seekers are breaking the law because Canada's policy under a Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement is to turn back refugees if they make claims at border crossings
Warmer weather could spur more arrivals of asylum-seekers in Canada.
. If people are coming over in February, what's it going to be like in June and July?" said University of Toronto political science professor Nelson Wiseman
But even Liberal legislators are starting to hear from constituents concerned about the arrivals.
"One or two people have raised the issue with me ... and I expect I'll have a few more" conversations with constituents about the arrivals, said Kevin Lamoureux, member of parliament for Winnipeg North, where many asylum seekers settle awaiting their refugee hearing.
Canadian refugee tribunals are wary of "asylum-shopping" and look askance at people coming from one of the world's richest countries to file claims, the refugee lawyers said. (For graphic on asylum process see Bitly
A federal judge ruled in March that the deportation of a Honduran family, who had lived in the United States for more than three years, could go forward after immigration officials found the family no longer faced a risk in Honduras.
"The longer they've been away (from their country of origin), the more difficult it is to establish that they're a refugee," said Winnipeg refugee lawyer Ken Zaifman.
Seems Trudeau and Canadians a bit hypocritical...Ehhh..
Not quite sure of the point you are trying to make.
Just because a country initially accepts a "refugee" at the border, it doesn't mean that country isn't going to do it's due diligence and check the "refugees" out and potentially deport them. Ehhh
But he likes hard work, so that's OK.
Not sure if the hard work counteracts the dumb.
I totally believe that President Trump is a very hard worker but he often makes very irresponsible statements like today:
"The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We ... either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good 'shutdown' in September to fix mess!" Trump said Tuesday in two consecutive tweets.

Democrats quickly hopped on Trump's call for a shutdown, including Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, who tweeted, "The President just called for a government shutdown this fall. No President has ever done anything like this."
Both Senior Republican Senators Orin Hatch and Mitch McConnell stated in response that they had no intention of changing the Senate rules on legislative action from 60 votes to 51 votes. In the House, a simple majority passes the legislation. Not so in the Senate, you need 60 votes to pass a legislative filibuster.
When the Senate Republicans succeeded in recently nominating Supreme Court Justice Judge Neil Gorsuch they got that done because the rules governing judicial nominations are different from legislative resolutions.
